Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 22, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats' #NoBanAct is not about policy, but undermining @POTUS. They planned to pass this bill in March, but pulled it as #COVID19 spread & travel restrictions ensued for safety reasons. This shows the bill's recklessness. It undermines any president's ability to keep us safe."
Rep. Gary Palmer
July 22, 2020

Sen. Ben Luján
July 22, 2020

Tweet - "John Lewis risked his life for the right of every man & woman in America to vote & have a voice in our democracy. Words of praise for John Lewis are fine--but they are not enough. The only way to truly honor his monumental legacy is to fully restore the Voting Rights Act."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "I have said it before, and I will say it again: lack of reliable internet access will continue to deepen already existing inequities. The House has passed legislation to close the #HomeworkGap , now it's the Senate's turn."
